Experiment: Hiding power badges

Power badges will be hidden on Warpcast for a week. We’re running this experiment because:

1. New user find it hard to get follows due to “power badge bias”
2. Power badge isn’t being used much in Warpcast anymore.

Update: experiment was a success, power badge is no more in Warpcast!

Active users saw no impact and new users benefitted from this change. Warpcast will remove power badges from the UI permanently. 

If you are a developer who uses Power Badge, @neynar will continue supporting the Power Badge API for you.

If a dev doesn’t have a neynar subscription right now building on top of Power Badge this means they‘d need to get one?

Also algo of Warpcast right now will then be the same on Neynar API? I assume that detail doesn’t even matter to devs though unless it’s somewhat of a good filter?
